Real estate is my passion! No matter if a home is small or large, historic or modern, a fixer upper or brand new, each and every one has special qualities and I love them all. I am excited to have the opportunity to share my knowledge and great love of Portland’s neighborhoods with you. Are you new to the Portland area? Perhaps you are searching for your next home? Or ready to sell your current home? Let me help you!

With over 19 years of experience dedicated to selling real estate full time, you can count on me to deliver using time-tested methods.

As your personal consultant, I take great pride in working to ensure one of your biggest financial transactions is a smooth as possible from start to finish. I listen carefully to your needs. YOU set the pace and parameters of the real estate purchase or sale; I do not believe in persuasion or high pressure sales tactics. I will use the most effective processes and most current technology to get you the results you need. Throughout our relationship you will find I am patient, diligent, and the professional who will work tirelessly to reach the goals we set together.

I grew up in beautiful North Carolina, lived in sunny Florida, and am very happy to call the Northwest my home. My partner of more than 20 years and I enjoy life with our wonderful Scottish Terrier, Ginny. We love the food and wine scene here in Portland. Spending time working in our yard and sharing great food, wine, and conversation with friends are some of our favorite activities. You can find us also enjoying day trips up the Columbia River Gorge, Willamette Valley wine country, and the beautiful Oregon coast and beaches. I have served the communities I have lived in as a member of the board of directors for local community theatre and have volunteered with the Scottish Terrier Rescue and other animal advocacy groups. If you spend any amount of time with me you will learn I am an avid car enthusiast too.

Please give me a call to discuss your real estate needs and let me start working for you today!

Scott's Testimonials

Rosemary and I want to thank you for making our real estate transaction a low stress event.

You are a thoughtful and kind person willing to go the extra mile to help the client through the “bumps” of the real estate process. We are grateful to have had you as our agent. We wish you the best and if we ever need an agent, you are first on our list.

Michael & Rosemary

When we were asked, “What convinced you to work with Scott?”, I said “Friends that recommended you were so happy with the results we knew we should meet you”.. During our first meeting it was clear that he was committed to helping us find what we wanted, not just making the sale. He also seemed interested in getting to know us and our personalities so he could help us find what would suit us best.

Cali and James P.

We were searching for a “special” home; I guess everyone is.. I thought I could find it myself so I drove the neighborhoods and scoured the internet. Finally a friend suggested I call Scott because he said he was honest, knowledgeable, and just all around great to work with. From the 1st day we met to look at houses we knew we’d found someone we could trust to help us through the complex process of buying a home. As 1st time home buyers we were especially appreciative of his experience and patience.

John and Sally

When we decided to start looking for our first home we were referred to Scott through some friends of ours.. Within a week Scott found us the perfect first home. Several years later we listed our house with Scott. He sold it quickly for top dollar, plus found us our second home and we closed on both on the same day. I recommend Scott to anyone who needs to buy or sell their home.

J. DiGuido

We are very appreciative of your great effort and professionalism in selling our home.. We loved working with you. Please feel free to use us as references; you will get a glowing recommendation.
